6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

We have been ocean cruising for many years and have gone to many parts of the world with our children. Now that they are adults, we decided to make our own adventures. This was my husband’s and my first River Cruise and it was a disappointment. It is a more expensive cruise than our past Ocean cruises but I was excited enough about this that I was already planning more in the future. First ...

Amazing Itinerary

We choose this particular ship and date because of the itinerary and it did not disappoint. The ports and scenery while cruising were incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed every stop on our journey and highlights were the two “scenic cruising” afternoons. Having great weather for the duration was a bonus. The ship was very clean and well laid out. We ate most meals in the Aqua Vit Terrace ...

Amazing views along the Danube, too much downtime and horrible dining arrangements

This was our first-ever river cruise experience. We did a lot of research and watched a lot of videos about the experience so we felt pretty well prepared for the trip. What we found is most people's pros/cons experiences were pretty consistent with ours. Knowing what we know now we also would have planned our trip differently. I'll explain. This journey started in Budapest with one night ...

This was our Third time on Viking river cruise. The other two were 5 star trips. This time, Mother Nature played a large role in the disappointment we had. It should be said that the staff, Cruise director, Hotel Manager and the Captain were totally engaged in trying to provide a great experience in spite of the River issues. Meals were excellent Room attendants were top notch its just the ...

It was available during the time frame we were available and it was the right amount of time for us. Plus who would not want to see Vienna & Budapest and sail on the Danube Rive on a Viking Cruise. Unfortunately it rained for three days. The river was too low to be able to go to the original destination then the river was too high to sail, The crew were fabulous and constantly changing ...

Average River Cruise Experience

Heavy advertising prompted our booking a cruise .. we had done another short river cruise on the Yanzee River which we enjoyed and thought this would be a step up. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and each one was as good as the next. We stayed with the included tours as the optional ones were either booked or had too high level of difficulty for one of our group to walk/climb ...

This was my 5th Viking Cruise, second time doing the Rhine. Our very first Rhine Cruise was July 2015. Wow! Viking has changed! Many of the optional excursions were included in 2015. This time not much offered. Too many shuttles being used to get to towns and back to boat. The service has gone down. We weren’t even recognized for our 5th cruise! They did have a cocktail party for returning guests, ...

The first half of this cruise was terrible. We had Viking arrange our travel and will never do that again. We paid the extra $100 for air plus ($200 total) which was a total waste of money. No one ever contacted us about our travel and they booked the worst flights we have ever had going overseas. It took 18 hrs and we missed the entire of the first day of the cruise. The first stop was ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

The staff was great. The food was great. The tours were great. The room was good except for the temperature being either freezing or burning alive hot and water pooling on the balcony (no drain hole on edge). Unfortunately 5 out of 6 in our group contracted Covid19. Looking back there was lots of people coughing and talk about a lot of people having chest congestion. Needless to say this put a ...
